Again and again, Tata has proved there ingenuity by creating segments which people never thought off, starting with the Tata low payload trucks 407,609 then Tata sumo a new segment,then indica a big success, then ace and now this one lakh car. Tata has always found skepticism, but they have proved they have the vision and they can do good things for the common man and for the society.Tatas innovation does not lie in engineering very Hi-Fi Technosavy products but the art of thinking and creating new segments which one could never even imagine of there existence. Just the fact that still Tata Indica Diesel has no competition in its segment even after 9 years of launch proves tata's might in creating new markets.And yes might be sooner or later all rickshaws will be replaced by this car, which would be a much safer option. This car would hugely benefit the rural and semi rural masses.And yes if it sells in numbers they would surely benefit out of this launch no doubt of that.Its not new in India that whenever one person tries to do good, he faces a lot of opposition and so is tata facing the opposition now which will soon die down under the weight of tatas sucess.

r u sure this car wd replace autorikshaws running on roads. No my dear. In fact roads would be much heavily loaded. How about infrastructure to support influx of huge nos. of these cars. U wd find frequent jams within cities.

Developing cars is the job of industrialists like Tata, developing roads and infrastructure is the job of government, politicians. But, unfortunately the latter are not working towards a better India!
